An installation with water features and sculptural elements. There are five elements covering approximately 70 metres, in which water is managed to various effects, from comparative tranquillity to fairly strong movements. The largest is the 'Terraces', a platform of four levels in black slate, about 60 centimetres high, covered with about 2.5 centimetres of constantly flowing shallow water. This terrace area can be drained to become ‘a highly original performance space’, giving the water sculpture its title, 'Aquarena'. At the northern end is a curved 'Water Wall' made of polished stainless steel over which water flows in wave patterns.
